Longest wait ever.

Sorry! It truly is worth the wait. It's better than I ever imagined, and I've watched every YouTube video and read every article for 18 months!

Sorry to keep posting updated about my truck but maybe it’ll guide anyone else having issues.
Going to the dealership to drop off, and got this message on the drive. What luck.

It's still sitting in the Melvindale ramp facility. I have a very good connection to NS Railroad so I have visibility into that ramp.

No idea why it's still sitting though...

I watched your YouTube video and it was good. I had the same wave invite as you but I reserved during the reveal. My only comment is that before the new year I was telling myself I wish they would just ship the truck while it was on chip hold because I could care less if I can't drive it for a few months as long as I get the $7500.00 credit. I got screwed by FoMoCo with this truck at every step in the process. I will reluctantly buy it when it comes in but will 100% trade it in for the RAM Revolution as soon as possible and say "never again" to Ford EVs. Hopefully, RAM has a decent version under $80k without all the options removed.

I just don’t know if legacy makers are going to be able to provide the same style truck as a ev, for that price.

Don't get me wrong it's not the price. If back in May 2021 Ford said all we're making is a $90k+ EV pickup but you won't get it for 2 years, I would say TAKE MY MONEY!

Now my problem is that even with all of the removal options, my 2023 truck costs over $10k more than a 2022 and carries less equipment and therefore has a lower value than the 2022.

So if someone were to sell their MY22 against my MY23 even with the extra 10k more miles they put on it since they got it, they will still probably get a better resale value.

The more I think about it the more I hate Ford.

Still sitting in Melvindale ramp facility. The tires are going to be dry rotted by the time I get it...

Just checked on mine. Still sitting at the loading facility in Melvindale. Pretty much given up on it at this point…

 

[brucek2]

I’m day 3 of owning mine. It’s an amazing truck. Don’t give up yet.
